Genre(s): Gay, Historical, BDSM Drama
This classic gay BDSM novel, set near the end of the Viet Nam war, has been out of print for almost 20 years. Long before “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” being queer in the military was a one-way ticket to dishonorable discharge and a psychiatric diagnosis for mental disorder. In 'The Brig', a young sailor awaiting discharge as a Conscientious Objector is confined to a military prison where he is tortured with pain, fear, sexuality and mind games to force changes in his psyche and break his spirit. Yet, the sailor learns things about himself and his captors that will transform him and challenge those who hold him.
